Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) are a group of carbon-based chemicals that can easily evaporate into the air, contributing to indoor and outdoor air pollution. Common sources of VOCs include household products, paints, solvents, and some building materials. Prolonged exposure to elevated levels of VOCs may have adverse health effects, ranging from eye and respiratory irritation to more severe long-term health issues.
